The saga continues, but it is not yet clear which way it will end, although it is not looking good.
I've been in contact with the HGV testing station in Tours about what information they require to test the trailer. Basically, if it doesn't have a full technical information pack then it needs to be put through the entire single vehicle approval process, which included destructive testing of the trailer breakaway cable.
Unfortunately the supplying dealer in England, Towability of Wellingborough, are not willing or able to supply any technical information about the trailer. I am taking this to mean that either they are not interested in helping or they did not build it using CE approved equipment. Anyway, I've gone back to them to ask them to look again and hopefully they'll come through with something.
I'm also talking to VOSA about what information Towability should have provided with the trailer and whether there were any standards that it should have adhered to. Update: they've just come back and said that they don't hold any information on it.
